Masking solutions for the automotive industry

Automotive Masking Tapes Expertise for Impressive Car Paint Jobs

Our automotive masking tape assortment helps you to create an accurate and unique look, while ensuring easy and lean paint shop processes.

Design Matters – Automotive Masking Tape Solutions

Car customisation is one of the megatrends in today’s automotive industry. We offer a wide range of sophisticated solutions for car body and bumper masking applications that meet the demanding requirements of the paint process. This helps you to create an unique yet reproducible car design.

Our car masking tape range and expertise supports you to master the challenges and keep each step as lean as possible. This includes ensuring reliable adhesion; avoiding overspray on e-based, solvent-based and water-based coatings even at high temperatures in the oven; and guaranteeing simple and residue-free tape removal to prevent extra work.

Our car masking tape solutions meet demanding requirements:

  • Highly temperature resistant up to 170°C
  • No ghosting
  • Reliable over masking
  • Easy to demask
  • Good adhesion to all surfaces
  • Excellent conformability

An Enhanced Application Experience

We also keep the leanest possible application of our material in mind by using universal and customised tools, such as fineline masking tape dispensers or jigs.

Based on our extensive industry experience in paint shop projects, we analyse the individual process and design parameters and create integrated and precise masking processes. For example, we support OEMs in defining the right position of visible and nonvisible split lines and in finding lightweight tooling solutions that do not need any guidance from edges or grooves to ensure a high-quality paint line.

This approach and service leads to measurable savings in energy and operating costs as well as an impressive standard of quality. Our support also covers on-site application training, putting the OEM into the driver seat.

Customised die-cut solutions with special application aids, such as finger lifts, help workers to position the masking tape onto the vehicle in complex contours with a higher degree of accuracy.

Automotive Paint Jobs Easily Accomplished

Before the car body arrives in the assembly shop with an eye-catching surface finish, it runs through a dozen process steps in the paint shop. Each of these steps – such as surface treatment for corrosion protection; temporary and permanent sealing; and the painting of base and clear coats – features its own demanding conditions including a zero-fault tolerance principle.

Our automotive masking tape range and expertise helps OEMs to master the challenges and keep each step as lean as possible. This includes ensuring reliable adhesion, avoiding overspray on e-, solvent-, and water-based coatings even at high temperatures in the oven; and guaranteeing simple and residue-free tape removal to prevent extra work.
